Love these shoes!

This is my first experience with a Salomon product and I must say I'm quite impressed. I wanted something that was comfortable and prevented wet feet if I happened to walk through a puddle or snow. I really like the lacing system, it's very simple and quick. Just pull the cord and they lace up. Awesome, especially in situations where if I was wearing other shoes I'd be too lazy to tie them up properly.
As compared to other shoe brands the sizing seems to be slightly on the small size. I wear a size 9 in most shoes, but the 8.5 fit me perfectly in this case.
I've had these for about a month and they have been exactly what I was looking for. Water has never penetrated the Gore-tex membrane. Wear these with a pair of SmartWool socks and be ready to enjoy shoe heaven. Looking forward to seeing what else Salomon has to offer. Great product!
